The name says it all. A safe room, also known as a panic room, is a room that literally is like a giant safe, a room totally impregnable to intruders despite their best attempts. Previously, safe rooms were exclusively the domain of the very rich (or the very paranoid) due to their exorbitantly high costs, both in terms of the actual room itself as well as the service charges imposed. This high-end, luxury and extravagant image was not really helped much by the Jodie Foster film (aptly titled Panic Room), which brought the safe room into the widely accepted public domain.

However, in recent years, while it would be a real stretch of the imagination to say that they are cheap, safe rooms are now far cheaper than what they were previously. Currently, a safe room can be added to a home for a sum of money that is a little more than the cost of installing a new room. It is also possible for an existing room to be converted into a safe room as well.
